Area of Practice
Fries & Fries, P.C. provides a wide range of legal services. The following are our primary areas of practice. However, this list is by no means exhaustive. Please call our office regarding other specific areas of law.
Estate Planning
Everyone has an estate plan, even if you don't know it! If you don't have a Will that you developed yourself, the state will distribute your assets according to their formula. Wouldn't you rather have a plan that you design?
And wouldn't you want to know that your family and medical providers are all aware of how you want to be treated? An Advance Health Care Directive can tell them your wishes when you aren't able to tell them yourself.
And don't forget the most powerful document of all -- a Durable Power of Attorney -- which will allow someone you choose to make decisions for you if you can't make them yourself. If you have only one document in your estate plan, a General Durable Power of Attorney is the one to have!
